Magellanic Penguins
As we approach this little island, if we are lucky, we will be able to see the dolphins that meet our boat and escort us toward this beautiful place, where we will come into contact with the southernmost wildlife of the world.
On
the islet, a colony of Magellan penguins - visible from October to March - nest among the
vegetation in burrows made by themselves, accompanied by the assailant skua galls
(predator birds) diving around. At the other end of the islet we will find a large flock
of cormorants. Only 15 minutes after leaving the islet and its peculiar inhabitants, we
will see a rocky promontory inhabited by a colony of sea-lions.
